As previously disclosed, on March 27, 2024, Momentus Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”), for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company was not in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Original Notice”). At that time, the Company was provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Original Notice, or until September 23, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).

As the Company did not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by September 23, 2024, and it was determined that the Company is not eligible for another 180 calendar-day extension because it did not meet the minimum stockholders’ equity initial listing requirements of $5,000,000 for Nasdaq, as set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5505(b), the Company received a delisting determination letter on September 24, 2024 (the “Delisting Determination Letter”).

As previously reported in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed May 30, 2024 and August 27, 2024, the Company received deficiency letters on May 23, 2024 and August 21, 2024, respectively, from the Staff notifying the Company that, the Company had not filed its Form 10-Q for the periods ending March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively, as required for continued listing on the Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Periodic Reporting Requirement”). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(d)(2), the failures to comply with the Periodic Reporting Requirement have individually become additional and separate basis for delisting.

The Delisting Determination Letter states that unless the Company requests a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearing Panel (“Panel”) to appeal Nasdaq’s delisting determination by October 1, 2024, trading of the Common Stock will be suspended at the opening of business on October 3, 2024, and the Common Stock will be delisted from Nasdaq.

The Company intends to request a hearing before the Panel at which it will request a suspension of delisting pending its return to compliance. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a)(1)(B), the Company expects that its hearing request will stay the suspension of trading and delisting of the Common Stock pending the conclusion of the hearing process. Consequently, the Company expects the Common Stock to remain listed on Nasdaq at least until the Panel renders a decision following the hearing.

The Company intends to provide a plan to regain compliance to the Panel, including, subject to approval of the Company’s Board of Directors and its stockholders, implementing a reverse stock split, should it be necessary.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other applicable Nasdaq listing rules, that the Company will be able to successfully implement a reverse stock split if it decides to pursue one, that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for a suspension of delisting on Nasdaq, or that the Company’s appeal of the delisting determination will be successful.
